A 30-year-old woman recently refused to be the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding once she found out that her best friend’s fiancé made terrible comments about her infertility.
She started out by saying that she has been married to her husband for a decade, and they have been trying to have children together for years.
Unfortunately, last year she suffered a horrific miscarriage, and her doctors broke the news to her that she could be infertile for the rest of her life.
In the 6 months after that, she struggled with depression and attended therapy.
She’s currently doing far better than she was, and she is undergoing surgeries and treatments in the hopes of regaining some fertility back.
Now that you have all of those details, let’s focus on her best friend that she has been close to for more than 10 years.
Her best friend is getting married soon to a man that she has only known for around one year, and she is supposed to be her best friend’s maid of honor.
The guy her best friend is marrying has been very withdrawn from her throughout the entire time her best friend has been with him.
This guy also seems to be very sensitive about her speaking to her best friend or receiving any kind of attention from her, and he has said things that upset her but she has always just tried to let it go.

Several weeks ago, she’s talking to her best friend when her best friend brings up that she is going to be selling her house.
Her best friend bought it a couple of years ago all on her own, so she couldn’t believe she would be selling it already.
She then asked her best friend why she wanted to sell the house, and here’s how the conversation went:
She answers, “We can’t have babies in this house.”
This is the first time I’ve heard about this in a serious tone rather than just what-if scenarios, so I say, “I didn’t know y’all wanted to have kids! That’s awesome!”
She says, “Yeah, [my spouse] wants to have kids immediately after the wedding. They said we don’t want to be THAT weird couple that waits ten years into our marriage to have a baby.”
As soon as those words left her best friend’s mouth, she feels awful and heartbroken.
She told her friend to repeat what she just said, before adding that it sounds incredibly specific and directed at her.
“She basically freaks out, saying I’m overreacting and their spouse would never say anything rude on purpose, and she doesn’t want this to be a problem at the wedding,” this woman explained.
Using all of the calmness that she could muster, she informed her best friend that she wasn’t sure if she could go through with being the maid of honor.
She initially left it at that, and her friend was furious with her. Afterward, she called up her best friend to talk about what happened.
Her best friend said she no longer wants her at her wedding anyway because she and her fiancé think she’s doing all this to “tear them apart.”
Although this made her cry, she decided to turn things around and take the money she had been saving for years to buy her best friend a wedding present and instead use it to go on vacation with her husband.
